MRTA Junior Competition

The MRTA Junior Competition is a Saturday morning club-based competition, with Gisborne Tennis Club entering teams across grades from A Grade through to D Grade.

Players compete as part of a team and play both singles and doubles against other clubs in the local area. Teams and grades are organised according to player level, helping players compete at an appropriate standard.

Players need the basic skills to serve, rally, keep score and understand the rules so they can play their matches independently.
